iggy Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Quite enjoyed that one Bill, enough old stuff for those of us that remember when TV was in black & white! Out of interest, re Conan Doyle, there is a pub in Pompey with loads of stuff about him all over the walls. It was reading this info whilst enljoying a leisurely pint or three that I came across the football connection. The team he played for was an amateur team that went of existence some years before the present day Portsmouth FC were formed, but as they had the city name (They were called something like Portsmouth Amateur Football Club) over time it became accepted (for quiz purposes at least!)that he played for Portsmouth.

Bill Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Yeah it was before the present Portsmouth, an amateur team AFC Portsmouth as you said, but i underestimated your knowledge and did you a disservice by just making it Portsmouth. Sorry You and the Beard must be regular partisipants in quizzes, if not you should be. Well done to you both, only 3 wrong for Joint 1st Place.

Not at all mate, as I said it is generally accepted in quizzes, wasn't intended as a point, just a bit of general info As to quizzing, I used to do a lot of league quizzing before I moved to where I live now, and I am sort of barred from the quiz machine in my local!

rubecula Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I am so glad i missed that quiz Bill. I didn't know any of the answers. (Well maybe a couple) I must be a football dunce, and once upon a time I thought I knew a fair bit too. You guys put me to shame. (And I flatly refuse to google answers, as it is more fun to try and answer with what i know) Anyway I did try the quiz out before I read your answers, and frankly end of term report is obscene material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 (And I flatly refuse to google answers, as it is more fun to try and answer with what i know) Neither do I, I just happen to be a sad quiz buff :hairy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
